Albaston is near both Gunnislake and Calstock, situated in the picturesque Tamar Valley which separates Devon and Cornwall. The area offers a plethora of activities and attractions for visitors. Visit the National Trust property of Cotehele House, or nearby Calstock with its coffee shop, pubs, and iconic railway viaduct, both within 2.5 miles. For nature enthusiasts, the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a must-visit, with its lush landscapes, riverside walks, and abundant wildlife. Explore the scenic Tamar Trails, ideal for hiking and cycling, or take a leisurely cruise along the River Tamar to appreciate the stunning countryside. Nearby, on the Bere Peninsula, you can discover the fascinating mining heritage at Morwellham Quay, a living history museum. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the nearby Tamar Valley Donkey Park, less than 2 miles away, a family-friendly attraction featuring adorable donkeys and other animals. Gunnislake Railway Station (0.5 miles) is at the end of the Tamar Valley Line, a picturesque route to Plymouth where there is much to see and do.

Enter the house and you will find three bedrooms on the ground floor, situated off the inner hallway. The first is a good size double with en-suite shower room and French doors opening out into the garden. The second is another double bedroom next door, and there is also a single bedroom. The family bathroom is within this area. Off the main hallway is a very handy utility room with outside access, making a great spot for pets to wipe off their paws. Upstairs you are welcomed by a fabulous open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room with wonderful natural light and high ceilings. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, offering the perfect spot to make up a good packed lunch or evening meal. There is plenty of room around the dining table to catch up on your day or cosy up on the sofa in front of the wood burner and relax.

We loved the spacious living room with wood burner and countryside view. Also fascinating book collections and antiques! We went mid February during terrible weather so unfortunately couldnt really go out much but enjoyed being together in the house. We walked to the local shop to get supplies eg firewood a couple of times. Take note-there is no foRead moreotpath, just the road. Hide

This is a beautiful house in a quiet location. The house was very spacious and light. All was well maintained and well equipped, we loved the modern log burner in the evenings which made the house feel so cosy and warm. No problems experienced and we would love to return one day!
